Outputs the results of an equation entered in the dialog. The equation must be of the form “Result = formula;”. You can use Extend's built-in operators and functions, and some or all of the input values as part of the equation.
Extend's operators are:
+, -, *, /, ^ (exponentiation), MOD or % (modulus), AND or &&, OR or ||, NOT or !, == (equals), != or <> (not equal), <, <=, >, >=
The Functions buttons in the dialog display a list of all built-in functions and procedures, including placeholders to remind you of which arguments are required. You can copy functions from the listing to your equation with the Copy and Paste commands. You must replace the placeholders with the real arguments, and separate arguments with a comma (,). The parentheses are required to show where the arguments begin and end. User-defined functions are not allowed.
Each input must be named in the dialog in order to use it in the equation. You can use the default input value names (Var1, Var2, etc.) or specify new names. Extend will warn you if an input is used in the equation but it is not connected.
The Equation block is discussed fully in the Extend manual; refer to the manual for more information.
Dialog Choices
Enter an equation...: Type an equation into the text entry box. The limit is 255 characters. The equation must be of the form Result = Formula;
Functions by name: Opens an alphabetical list of all of Extend's functions, including placeholders for their arguments.
Functions by type: Opens a list of all of Extend's functions grouped by type.
Input1 ...: The names assigned to the values at the 5 input connectors, from the top connector (1) to the bottom (5). You can use the default dialog names (Var1, etc.), or type in your own. These names can be used in the equation.
Output: The name assigned to the output connector value; the default name is Result.
Connectors
The input connectors correspond to the dialog choices Input 1 to 5, with the top connector number 1 and the bottom connector number 5.
